Recently on the Sea of Blue Facebook page. A member suggested that the only way that the Western Force will ever be successful is by having a squad of born and bred, come up thru the Juniors Western Australians.
Personally, this seems like a ludicrous statement. However, I have never seen WA/Perth Club Rugby. I have no idea of the standard.
So please, educate me. Am I wrong?
Is it possible? Is it 5 years away? 10? 20? Or, never?

Haters gonna hate but I want your honest opinions and I’m sure u will agree to improve players in wa and improve the forces chances in the future, time for some serious changes:
#1. A starting western Australian 15 with interstate and internationals on the bench, I would say a full 23 of wa boys but well miracles can happen, the only way we’re going to improve and win so we don’t have to ship in interstate or internationals is building up our wa boys, playing week to week they will improve and get better over time, it may take a few years but start now and we can win super rugby with an all wa squad I would say on around 4 to 5 years, we should be called the eastern force, im not criticising hodgo or prior and so so all the boys who came here and performed for us over the years, but time to move on.
#2. Time to change our play style, over the last few seasons I’ve notice we don’t run hard at the line, we just jog around with lacklustre passing that only moves territory 1 or 2 metres forward or backwards, also why do we panic when at the try line and lose the ball after all the hard work has been lost, the Fijians have a great play style, the just pick and go or more wider running passing rugby, stop kicking, if not the we should apply for a license to become the 3rd wa team in the afl
#3. Finally bring the wa boys home ffs, we lost old mate last season cause he went to France, sorry I forgot his name, get him back, get the other boys back, we need wa representation to go with our name the western force unlike we are the western Barbarians or the eastern force or international force, we need to show that a afl state can be competitive and be at the top, chopping and changing with all these guys that come and go isn’t good for the team, gotta rebuild nearly every year which doesn’t help our image and profile
Like I said haters gonna hate, if your brain hurts after what I’ve said then I can’t help u see the truth, we need to avoid getting booted again from super rugby, the force can start winning super titles, can beat teams by 50 points in a game, can keep teams scoreless, can get the 3 try bonus point instead of the losing one if we start change, thank u all and have a good day
